Sweet Potato Soup With Attitude

• 1 onion, chopped (shallots would also be nice)
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• Olive oil
• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
• 4 carrots, sliced
• 1 tablespoon curry paste
• 1 teaspoon Madras curry powder
• 6 cups vegetable broth
• Salt and pepper
• Chopped cilantro (optional)

1. Saute the onion and garlic in a small amount of olive oil until soft. Add the sweet potatoes and carrots and stir to combine. Mix in the curry paste and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
2. Add the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, until the sweet potatoes and carrots are softened, about 20 minutes.
3. Using an immersion blender or carefully using a blender, blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.
4. Garnish with chopped cilantro or a drizzle of cream, if you wish. Some crunchy croutons or oyster crackers would also be excellent.
